Hello! I am from Hong Kong and moved to America a few years ago. I had a helper on and off for a decade and I consider her as if she was my second mom. We still keep in touch and it disconcerts me that she works everyday and she rarely gets the weekends off. She also switches between day and night shifts weekly and I wish I could do something for her. I'm planning on getting a part time job (probably around 20usd per hour) in a few months so I can have money to buy things, have fun with my friends, and so that I can help my helper. From a quick google search, cost of living comfortably for a family of 4 is at least 20 million rupiah? Correct me if I am wrong please. I was thinking I can send at least half my pay which would be $400 (6.5 million rupiah) per month but I am not sure if that is enough to the point she can afford to maybe switch to a part-time/less stressful job. I am 100% willing to send more if needed. If I recall correctly, she works at a textile factory for a general gist of her salary (which idk). Her husband works too and they are a family of 4. I was thinking of just using Paypal to transfer money to her since I already have it, but I saw someone suggesting Wise instead so I would like to get thoughts on what to do. Thank you all!
